HP Storageworks 6840 Virtual Library System

HP Storageworks 6840 Virtual Library System ... Library System (VLS 6840) accelerates backup performance in complex SAN environments while improving overall reliability. Emulating popular tape libraries and tape drives, the VLS 6840 matches the existing data protection environment, removing the need to change backup software or monitoring policies. By emulating multiple tape drives simultaneously, more backup jobs can be done in parallel resulting in reduced backup times. Additionally, because the data resides on disk, single file restores are exceptionally fast.

The VLS 6840 simplifies your SAN environment by providing more virtual devices, reducing the complexity of shared storage while maintaining the manageability of a single piece of hardware. As your environment changes, the VLS 6840 adapts to it - host masking and mapping ensure that only the appropriate hosts have access to the VLS 6840. As storage requirements grow, the VLS 6840 matches the environment by scaling both capacity and performance.
